Sweetie Belle and Button Mash find themselves once again trapped in their favorite video game, this time accompanied by many of their friends. Their enemy is more determined than ever... And conflicts start to appear, splitting their friendship...

Everyone has their own views on Diamond Tiara's character, but how do the differences in those views impact how she is written? Perhaps this collection of short stories from various authors can shed some light on the subject.

Before Babs went back to Manehatten she told Diamond Tiara that she would tell her mother about her attitude, but what if Diamond Tiara only had one living parent? What happened after she fell into the mud? Let's find out.

Coco Pommel, now free from Suri's influence, decides to right what she did wrong by not only saving Babs Seed from a terrible fate, but taking her in as her own adoptive filly. Maternal sweetness spiced with Bridleway melodrama.

After receiving her Rainbow Power abilities, Fluttershy falls incredibly ill. Discord, going out of his way to help, notices that she has physically changed in strange ways. Little did he know that Tirek wasn't his only problem...

In the aftermath of the changeling invasion, Shining Armor finds that he is still plagued with headaches and is confined to his bed for several days. As he does so, he ponders the darker parts of himself and the weakness he's faced in the past.

Diamond Tiara asked for more independence, and she got it. Left out on the streets of Manehattan while her mother spends the week with her new mogul coltfriend, she needs to find shelter, and fast. Thankfully for her, she knows just where to go--to the filly she could never really bring herself to hate.

Takes place alongside If You Give a Little Love, but knowledge of it is not required to understand this story and plot details from the other that come into play will be thoroughly explained. Art by handsockz.

It's on my Author's Note. Basically, it's there to represent both the literal, big city connotation of the word and how Diamond Tiara's "light" (the light of her cutie mark, etc) was drowned out by other things.

And what is exactly stopping Diamond Tiara from getting on a train back to Ponyville and letting one of the nations ruling Princesses know that her mother abandoned her in the middle of Manehatten and to just wait and see if any reports of missing foals matching her description show up before the week they were gonna be there is over?

I hate to say it, but I hadn't really thought about that. Most likely, it was probably panic. It's easy for people removed from the situation to form a plan like this, but in the heat of desperation and fear, reasoning like this can go out the door.

Or we could just say "it's fluff for fluff's sake, don't question it." But that'd just be silly. No one says stuff like that.

P.S. Thanks for bringing up the "missing pony" thing. Could be a good plot piece.

7622478Since Spoiled Bitch abandoned her in the middle of the City she has no reason at all to even report such a thing until she is ready to leave and needs Diamond found from the sounds of the story description alone.

Even though Spoiled Bitch basically abandoned DT in Manehatten, she's taking this well so far. I didn't realize that blackjack and twenty one were the same game until I played Fallout New Vegas. Also, I agree with Babs that it's not gambling if money isn't involved.

Thanks for the comments. This chapter comes from me being a bit weirded out by how Las Pegasus seemed to be a huge arcade in canon, which (while awesome) seemed a bit off without card games. Cards can have plenty of non-gambling purposes.

And I feel like part of her taking it so well is a coping mechanism, really. Living with a family who treats her well and pretending to be okay is a lot easier than remembering how she's treated back home.

"Diamond Princess no Yuutsu." It doesn't really have anything to do with the chapter (it's from an anime I like) except that the translated name, "The Diamond Princess's Melancholy" screams Diamond Tiara to me.
